Tesla: Death rumors denied

We received the following from Rachel Konrad, Senior Communications Manager for Tesla Motors, Inc.

Good morning. Some of you may have seen rumors in the blogosphere last night, speculating that Tesla was going to stop delivering vehicles and go out of business. Absolutely untrue. In fact, Tesla is ramping up production and accelerating the pace of deliveries as we get closer to becoming cash-flow positive.

Tesla CEO and Chairman Elon Musk did a candid interview with Reuters immediately after the erroneous blogs were published, and he gave the most detailed public look at the private company’s finances. He also provided some news about an upcoming internal funding round that should close soon.
